Light Your Cuban Cigar the Way it is Meant to Be Lit

You may think that lighting a Cuban cigar could be as easy as it sounds, but you would be thinking wrong. It is true that anybody can light a Cuban cigar, but to light it in a way that preserves its flavor is a tricky business and may require knowing a thing or two about the process. Smokers who enjoy every Cuban cigar that they smoke should follow these tips to better enjoy their experience.

Before you light your Cuban cigar, you should heat its "foot" or end for sometime. As you keep heating it slowly on a fire, you will see that a black ring is forming on the foot. You must make sure that the Cuban cigar does not contact the fire at any point of time; the fire should just be close enough to warm the Cuban cigar until the black ring formation on the end is complete.

Wooden matches should be used to light a Cuban cigar and cedar matches are ideal for lighting the Cuban cigar as they do not meddle with the aroma when you use them. Although cedar matches would be perfect, you can also use a lighter if you must, to light your smoke. If you must use a lighter, make sure that it is butane lighter at least, because butane lighters do not leave any strong smell when you light your Cuban cigar with it. This makes sure that you do not lose out on the unadulterated flavor of the Cuban cigar.

Now that you have prepared your Cuban cigar well enough to be lit, you must actually light it and this is a tricky business as well. The Cuban cigar must be in your mouth as you light the wooden match or the butane lighter, but it should not touch the actual fire at any time. When the Cuban cigar is at an inch or less from the fire, start to draw in calmly. With you drawing in from so close to the flame, the Cuban cigar should light up soon, but now you must rotate it. The rotation is necessary to make sure that the Cuban cigar catches the fire equally through out.

Although you will rotate the Cuban cigar to make sure the burn is even, there is a chance that the burn may not still be even. After you have lit your Cuban cigar, take a look at it to ensure this. If you find the Cuban cigar to have unlit portions, blow on the lit part of the Cuban cigar a few times to evenly distribute the fire. Take a few puffs from the Cuban cigar now to complete the lighting procedure evenly and adequately.

These instructions are simple to follow and apply, but once applied and followed carefully, you will find your Cuban cigar smoking experience to be quite different from the other days cigar smoking and the difference will be in all likeliness will be a better one if not memorable.

My dad made me cry, I think he is depressed :( :(?
I care so much about my dad, I couldn't even tell you in words how much I love my parents, I can't even imagine my life without them, it doesn't seem possible. He is really depressed. He works 7 days a week, 6am-6pm daily, he sleeps all day, wakes up, eats, goes back to work for the night and its replay daily. He is heavy smoking on Cuban cigars, cigarettes, tobacco roll ups, weed and takes cocaine now and then. I went for a walk with him and my dogs the other day and I said to him that I would be the happiest girl in the world if he stopped smoking, I would be so ecstatic, he said not right now he needs them. He drinks a lot to. I literally begged him to stop smoking anything. Yesterday I said to him, "Dad, please stop smoking you will end up with lung cancer if you don't" and he said to me "this world is craap, I hate it, I hope I die, I really hope I do. this world is not worth living in" It made me cry and it just made my heart sink deep and I just cried for ages. It really hurt me. I hate hearing my parents being sad it just breaks my heart. He just turned 40 the other day. His health is bad enough the doctor said. He eats so much sweet stuff, he goes to the store and buys like 10 cream cakes daily, he eats KFC everyday, or Chinese food ordered in at least 4 days out of the week. His stressing me out so much. Do you think he needs to see a therapist. My mom stresses him out so much she is always nagging at him and his severely depressed. :( @Merlin: Actually I meant to say that he works 6pm - 6am (he works all night long then sleeps all day). I cook him good healthy meals daily but he stills eats fast food and sweet stuff to keep him away threw the night

Shouldn't any candidate for POTUS support legalization of marijuana?
They can smoke cuban cigars and drink post-prohibition liquor and laugh while they turn the screws on their constituents ability to obtain a safe, natural herb that eases the woes of living in this fvcked up world? Excuse me while I get high and a little "quote happy" here... HAHA! "Prohibition...goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's (or woman's) appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." ~Abraham Lincoln, December 1840 "What was done with the seed saved from the India Hemp last summer? It ought, all of it, to have been sewn again; that not only a stock of seed sufficient for my own purposes might have been raised, but to have disseminated the seed to others; as it is more valuable than the common Hemp." ~George Washington "In any civilized society, it is every citizen's responsibility to obey just laws. But at the same time, it is every citizen's responsibility to disobey unjust laws." ~Martin Luther King Jr "When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny." ~Thomas Jefferson "They've outlawed the number one vegetable on the planet." ~Timothy Leary Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food." ~Genesis 1:29 "I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?" ~Willie Nelson "I'm for legalizing marijuana. Why pick on those drugs? Valium is legal. You just go to a doctor and get it and overdose on it - what's the difference? Prozac, all that stuff, so why not marijuana? Who cares? It's something that grows out of the ground - why not? Go smoke a head of cabbage. I don't care what you smoke." ~Howard Stern
